This book, written by James Compton Burnett and originally published in 1890, provides a detailed account of his experiences with a new cure for consumption (tuberculosis) that involves using the virus of the disease itself to combat it. The method is said to be similar to that developed by German physician Robert Koch. Burnett describes the cases he treated over a period of five years using this method, including the symptoms and progress of the disease, as well as the results of the treatment. The book is written in a scientific and medical style, with detailed descriptions of the treatment process and the rationale behind it. It is a valuable historical document for understanding the development of medical treatments for tuberculosis in the late 19th century.Illustrated By Fifty-Four Cases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
